From the November 3, 2021, Daily Press (Virginia) by Dave Ress.
Virginia voters in two counties, Matthews and Middlesex, voted overwhelmingly to keep their Confederate monuments.
Actually, the headline makes it appear that a whole lot of the counties voted to keep them, but this was just two of the 95 counties that voted. But, either way, we'll take a victory in this lopsided war wherever we can find one.
Matthews County voters rejected a proposal to relocate the county's Soldier's and Sailor's Monument on the courthouse green at the corner of Church and Court streets by 3,778 (80%) to 939 (20%).
In Middlesex County, the vote against moving its Confederate monument from the courthouse grounds in Saluda was 3,229 (75%) to 1,076 (25%).
Do remember, however, these votes are non-binding, but hopefully the politicians can see the writing on the wall.
